Beyond the Wide Potomac

Secure behind the waters of the Potomac, cozy in "Foggy Bottom", untouched by the unwashed and comfortable in their pampered state, resides the people's representatives.  Gives one a warm fuzzy feeling does it not?
Newsletters are mailed regularly.  Spots on TV interview programs are coveted.  Speeches are made on the floor of the House or Senate, to empty chairs.  Rules and regulations are laid down for the People (you and I) to follow.  We are told that the IRS is fair and just when they bombard us with more proof, more paper work, more money, more, more, more.  BUT, when they come home they tell us all is well.  They have your best interest at heart and are taking care of you, "vote for me."
This legislation, ACA, "Obama Care" is a good example of how out of touch these people are.  In the face of all the evidence to the contrary those people still insist that all is well and we will just love Obama Care when we get to know it.  What are they smoking in "Foggy Bottom?"

The New Munich!

I have been away from blogging for some time but this must be said.
"Indiscriminate, inconceivable horror," an "unspeakable crime," a "crime against conscience," a "crime against humanity."  John Kerry speaking of "Adolph" Assad and his use of gas on his people.  Now we see Obama's Munich.
We are reminded of Churchill's October 5, 1938 speech responding to the Munich agreement.  He said that the people "should know the truth.  They should know that there has been gross neglect and deficiency in our defenses;  they should know that we have sustained a defeat without a war, the consequences of which will travel far with us along our road."  He concluded with this:
And do not suppose that this is the end.  This is only the beginning of the reckoning.  This is only the first sip, the first foretaste of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year unless by  a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigour, we arise again and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time.

What to do in a Crisis!

Now lets see if I can remember all the crises in Washington? First we have Bengauzi. Then there is the still unresolved scandal of the killing of a Border Agent during the ATF's running of guns over the border. Then the AP scandal and the charges brought against a respected reporter. And, perhaps, the one that everybody is concerned with, the IRS scandal where the administration used the IRS to stymie the opposition's fundraising until after the election. And,oh yes, I almost forgot the AG's lying under oath. Where is that going? So,in light of all this, tell me why is Obama flying across the country on a "FUND RAISER"?

Planned Parenthood--The Sacred Cow

Our United States may be considered the most civilized nation in the world; at least more civil than 90% of the world. But, on the other hand, we kill the unborn in remarkable numbers every year (and in the case of Gosnel those just born). This is done proudly in the halls of the local Planned Parenthood Agencies and with our tax monies to the tune of millions yearly. All in the name of Women's Rights. What is so idiotic is that those unborn are highly sought after by thousands of families that WANT them and are willing to adopt them. So why is it this way? As I see it, it is only because Roe/Wade has provided easy birth control practice for clumsy/lazy females. So much for Feminism.

Small Arms Treaty- United Nations variety

President Obama signed the International Ban on Personal Weapons and sent it on to our US Senate. Reid now has the task of ramming it through the Senate to make it Law. The treaty, of course, is designed to disarm dangerous mobs in the various countries that have either too much Government or not enough. None of which allow their citizens to own small arms anyway. We are the only country left that allows our people to exercise their Second Amendment rights (for now at least). So if that's true, and we are truly the only country, of any size, that lets its people be armed then why should we or would we sign it??? Our Government seems more and more distant from our people every day!

The Little Word "IF"

It seems to be the word of choice lately when talking to anyone in Obama's WH. We are working hard to find the guilty parties in Bengazi, and "if" we find them---- . Never mind that they know who they are and no arrests have been made. And no-one has been called for not sending help. Hillary is boss in that Dept. but she did not see anything. "If" she did she would have dealt with it. The IRS mess, that affects all of us, is handled by promoting the person heading up the dept. "If" she did anything wrong it was unintentional. The AP thing, if it really happened, has been taken care of although the AG cannot remember by whom or how? All done and hushed up to save Obama his second term. Only in America!

NO BAD-GUY ZONE

I notice signs around the schools that say "No Gun Zone".  Well after what has happened at Newtown and other schools around the country I have the solution;  just train the principal and selected teachers and arm them.  Then place sign around the grounds perimeter "NO BAD-GUY ZONE".  The cowards that they are will then take their mayhem elsewhere.
If one thinks about this problem long enough he will come to the same conclusion that I have.  That is that an armed citizenry is a civil citizenry.  The bad-a_ _ will think twice before jumping anyone for any purpose, hence a safer neighborhood. And while we are at it lets bring back dueling.  That alone will make for a more civil discourse.
